Synopsis: NATIONAL BESTSELLERThe United States is composed of and built by immigrants, and it has been a beacon to those in search of a new life for hundreds of years.HOME is a collection of thirty-four poems and twelve songs inspired by a diverse group of immigrants who have made significant contributions to the United States. From Yo-Yo Ma to Audrey Hepburn, Albert Einstein to Celia Cruz, these poems symbolize the many roads that lead to America, and which we expect will continue to converge to build the highways to our future.Offering a welcoming feeling intended to inform our cultural conversation and enhance our national dialogue, HOME has twelve accompanying musical pieces that serve as personal meditations on the essence of home, in which you can reflect upon where you feel most welcome, whether a place or state of mind.Written and composed by immigrants and first generation Americans, HOME provides a stronger sense of welcome and belonging for everyone.
